can be very tricky and is very dependent on your billing system. I.e. the capabilities of
the type of invoice records that can be created (and manipulated; rating, VAT, no VAT,
customer discounts, volume discounts, time of day etc etc). You normally have to start
there and trace back: What should the normalized CDRs look like for the billing system to
import and rate them correctly. Then you step backwards again: Your accounting records
(start/stop), what should they look like. The tool taking start/stop records must be
capable of interpreting the records and create normalized CDRs. If you gather accounting
records from multiple sources (PSTN GWs, routers etc), it may make sense to consolidate
the record collection and normalization (i.e. adapt your accounting records to be similar
across sources so you simplify the normalization)-

present, the C-number will be used for charging.

authentication-authorization-accounting process can be, if configured properly, brought to
the same least common denominator, which is AVP -- you authenticate someone, check if his
ACLs expressed as an AVP permit a call (e.g., 'international'), account it
(possibly with additional AVPs/flags providing additional hints for how to interpret the
CDR). -jiri At 19:49 10/07/2006, Rosa De Santis wrote:

idea, please? Thanks Rosa.
